STRAWBERRY^PLANTS OF QUALITY

LUPTON 



LUPTON (Per) 



A fancy late variety and, while the flavor is not of the best, 

 because of its size and handsome appearance it always brings 

 top prices. A strong, healthy grower, except that it rusts in some 

 sections, especially during wet seasons. Makes plants freely and 

 will do well on most any soil. Berries are large and handsome, 

 very uniform in size and shape; color a rich shiny red all over; 

 no green tips, with a large green cal^^x that adds much to its 

 beauty; very firm, making an extra good shipper, and for the 

 above reason is a money-maker. Not recommended for the home 

 garden, but a fancy late variety for long distance shipping. I 

 have a good supply of plants that I am sure will please you. 

 WM. BELT (Per) 



Whenever quality and large size is considered, Wm. Belt ranks 

 with the best. Is probably the most popular fancy variety and 

 always brings fancy prices. Does best north of Mason and Dixon 

 Line, as south of this it will rust some seasons. It is quite pro- 

 ductive of extra large berries that are somewhat irregular in 

 shape; color a beautiful bright glossy red, firm and of the very 

 best quality. Largely planted in many sections, and if you have 

 a market that will pay a premium for quality and not too far 

 south, Wm. Belt is the variety to plant. 

 AROMA (Per) 



Strong, sturdy plants that are heavy producers of large, round, 

 dark-red berries. A strictly high-flavored, high-class market 

 berry; good shipper and keeper. A standard late variety in many 

 of the great strawberry growing sections, where many growers 

 will plant nothing else. A good one to plant with late pistillate 

 varieties.
